CARROT 
Culture—Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich 
sandy loam, well tiled. For early crops, sow as soon 
as the ground can be tilled, say in April or early May. 
For late crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed a 
half inch deep in drills 12 inches apart, thinning to three 
inchesintherow. Carrot is slow to germinate and the 
soil must therefore be well firmed. One ounce for 100 
feet of row; 6 to 8 pounds per acre when sowed in one 
foot drills. 

Woodruff’s Selected Danvers. ‘This is a very 
'fancy selection of the old Danvers Half Long. 
It is: only slightly stump-rooted, tapering more 
than Chantenay. Matures in about 70 days, being 
therefore about ten days later than Chantenay. 
This strain has proven to be a heavy yielder and 
makes a fine main crop sort. It is smaller in 
diameter than Chantenay, but is not so apt to 
split in wet weather. Its length is slightly greater 
than Chantenay. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 4 Ib., 
40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
Improved Long Orange. An extremely produc- 
tive carrot which often grows toa length of about 
nine or teninches. The roots are a deep orange 
color, about three inches through at the shoulder, 
and taper evenly down toa point. This variety 
is excellent for table, and owing to its size is 
also favored for stock feed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15¢e; 
Vy |b., 40c; 1 lb., $1.00 
Amsterdam Forcing. This is the finest and sweet- 
est carrot for forcing, and can be grown equally Woodruff’s 
well in the open. Roots are half-long, practically Danvers 
coreless, stump-ending, have a very small top and 
a fine tap root. The flavor is unsurpassed, being 
the sweetest carrot we have ever tasted. Where 
flavor is the prime requisite, we recommend this 
variety as superior to all. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 
VY Ib., 50c; 1 Ib., $1.25. 

Coreless Chantenay 
Coreless Chantenay. This new strain of Chantenay is 
quite free from the ordinary yellow core, and while the type 
is not entirely fixed, it is an improvement over the old type 
as regards core. On account of its tenderness, it is superior 
to the usual Chantenay, and promises to become one of the 
leading varieties as soon as it is better known to growers. 
It is particularly attractive to canners and market gardeners, 
generally bringing a better price on the market due to its 
fine dark red center. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 1 Ib., 
$1.00. ,
